I won't even touch a soda. I think the last time I had a soda was about 6 years ago.Diet soda and regular soda are both bad for you. Diet soda is just full of artificial sugar which is man-made and just chemicals and regular soda is just tons of high fructose corn syrup.Anyhoo,either way it's bad I won't drink it I only drink water I drink about a gallon and a half of water a day and unsweetened coffee and unsweetened tea.
I am less concerned about your avoidance of soda and much more concerned about if you actually drink 1.5 gallons of water per day in addition to drinking other sources of water such as unsweetened coffee or tea. Did no one else notice that? That would be 24 cups of water in a day plus on top of that how ever many cups of coffee and tea you have (which is also water). That is way way to much. Have you consulted with your doctor about doing that? Have you had your blood pressure or sodium levels checked recently since you started doing that? That is going to just tank your blood pressure and probably cause you dizziness. Are you taking in a ridiculous amount of sodium that would warrant drinking that much water?
It is recommended that you drink about half a gallon of water (total water included in other beverages) per day. Not sure what made you think more than 3 times that amount would be better. You must have to pee like constantly.6 -
@kimny72 that sounds like an awesome drinking game. Line up shots of Woo Woo and take a drink every time someone posts "your opinion, but I'll stick with mine".
I am pretty sure my Hungarian father in law was making Peach schnapps (or equivalent) in his bathtub. It might have been higher than 40% proof.7 -
I just don't understand responding to an OP in a seven page thread without at least skimming through the responses to see what you're wading into. It's almost as if people who are afraid to drink diet soda are willfully under-informed.
Might also explain why there are like 275 Diet Soda threads right now.
Reading is fundamental.
So much this.
I also want to know why "man made" = bad. I mean, hope you aren't wearing man-made clothes or anything!0 -
So while consulting dr. google for a meme, I learned there is a Woo Woo cocktail: vodka, peach schnapps, and cranberry juice. Perhaps we should all be sampling this before hitting the forums from now on. Bonus - no innatural chemikillz! Peach schnapps is found in nature, right?
That sounds delicious. And I want in on @jgnatca's game.1 -

I'd think the ideal "Woo Woo cocktail" would be ACV, BCAAs, exogenous ketones and Shakeology all mixed together.

Calories-wise no, but watch out for diet sodas using aspartame. https://nutritionfacts.org/2016/09/01/side-effects-of-aspartame-on-the-brain/20

Mmmm I don't currently have peach schnapps on hand, but a lovely umeshu (Japanese plum wine), think that might work as a swap out?

True story. Many years ago I took an Electronics course and the professor is discussing capacitors and resistors and how they work. Also explaining in full detail why they do not save energy. We as a class got it but some guy in the back asks, “Do capacitors save energy?” Ugh.
This reminds me of far too many of my EE courses.

Ah, yes. How could I forget the coconut oil? It wouldn't be complete without that. Then we could call it the "Bulletproof Woo Woo cocktail"!4 -

Well, by golly, peach schnapps is homemade. If it's homemade, there must be no artificial ingredients. And you know, peaches. And water, probably.
Peach schnapps is health food.

I drink diet soda...at points in my life ALOT of it. The sodium worries me more than anything else (I do track it)...I personally experience more water retention, hand and feet swelling, the greater my daily intake. The discomfort of that is enough to restrict my intake. Not everyone has that issue but it is mine.6

Yes, it's homemade, but a Hungarian father-in-law sounds like a man, and that also makes it manmade.
As we consistently learn in these threads, "manmade" = dangerous.6 -
My husband is a firm believer that Aspartame kills brain cells. Just one of those things not worth having a material spat about...However, I do tell him to count his blessings...If I had all my brain cells, I may have left him years ago. 11

Are people deliberately reposting arguments that have already been covered in this thread several times? I know there are 3 diet soda threads on the board and I can't keep which arguments have been made where straight anymore, but I'm pretty sure the sodium has been covered in all three of them by now?6
